Having been introduced to big bangs through the SPN fandom, I've been mulling over a soundtrack for my Cap/IM bang.  Except I'd like some input.

The fic itself deals with Extremis and sort of-transhumanism, so I'm leaning towards an industrial/synth/tech/sampling feel.  Unfortunately, for all that I like to think I have something for everything, my default tends to run towards grunge, metal, alt rock, or downtempo (if I'm actually listening) or movie soundtracks (for when I just need background noise).  I've been vaguely considering songs from artists like Depeche Mode, Neuroticfish, Tryad, and Infected Mushroom, and I want to keep to a thematic and lyrical cohesiveness rather than carelessly throw together completely different genres, but I feel woefully underprepared.  The last time I was really into anything resembling industrial, I was an even scrawnier, self-obsessed teenage goth that played Skinny Puppy and Marilyn Manson on repeat.  (I also have a tendency to listen to the same few songs obsessively for weeks and then forget all about them for several years before stumbling across old music files or actual mix CDs again and IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS IN JULY.)


So, any recommendations for songs or artists along the lines of industrial, techno, dubstep, and/or darkwave (and maaaaaybe trip-hop, idk)?  Also willing to take differing opinions or ideas, bawwww.

ETA: Political shit and whatever is awesome, but I'd like to avoid anything racially charged.  As much as I love Tricky and Martina Topley-Bird's cover of "Black Steel," a quick consult with [livejournal.com profile] chofi reaffirmed my opinion that doing so for a story featuring a rich white guy would be...somewhat disingenuous.

And it's only Friday. At least his weekend can't get any worse at this point.
